Somehow, through all of this, everyone was still asleep. I envied them, because I was exhausted. The sun had disappeared over the horizon. Logan was fast asleep next to me. His head was rested against the wall and he was snoring quietly. We had been driving for awhile. I could feel my eyes growing heavy, but I couldn't stop now. I had to drive my comrades somewhere safe.
It was so dark, and yet I could not turn on my headlights because it may attract walkers. Okay… I just need to see where I'm at. I'll turn them on for 5 seconds. I flashed on the lights. "Rrg?" A walker moaned. It was just a few feet away. I slammed my foot of the gas and slammed into it with the RV. I smirked, and continued to look around. No walkers anywhere else. Trying to not wake anyone up, I slid open the door and walked outside. I climbed on top of the RV, keeping watch.
I wasn't sure how long I was up there, but I couldn't stay awake any longer. I started climbing down to wake Logan up for his watch, but something brushed my arm when I crawled down. I clicked on my flashlight. A walker's soulless eyes gazed at me, and I swear, it grinned. I yanked out my knife and killed it before it could try to bite me. I slipped into the RV. I tripped, and slammed my hand on the horn.
Crap.Not only did all my friends jolt from their sleep (except Logan, he was exhausted), but I turned on the headlights to see if I had attracted anything. Walkers were running at the RV from both sides of the road, from the front, and the back. Kate appeared next to me. "Maddy, everything alright?" I slammed on the gas, causing her to fall backwards. If I hadn't been running on only adrenaline rush, I would have laughed at her. She got back up and looked out the windshield, right as I smashed through the walkers. Bodies flew into the windshield, and blood splattered everywhere. Soon everyone was awake, and I heard the buzz of fear in the back of my mind. I blocked it out, and drove.
"Ow!" I mumbled. I put my hand onto my head, and realized that I was burning up. Spots covered my vision, and that was when I realized that I should have gone to sleep a long time ago. "Kate!" I gasped. "You need to-"
And that was when I blacked out. My vision faded in and out, but I wasn't aware of what was going on around me. It was as if I was watching from a distance. My body tumbled off the chair, and Kate looked in shock. She quickly jumped to the steering wheel. "Um…" She mumbled. She slammed on the gas and drove. I heard a scream and saw Kate jerk the steering wheel. That was the last thing I saw.
